1) “SEAL Team.” 9 and 10 p.m., CBS. After a long stretch of comedies (the original, British “Ghosts”) on Thursdays, CBS shifts to military action. Over two weeks, it reruns a four-parter that wrapped up a season on Paramount+. Jason (David Boreanaz, left, in a scene from another episode) takes the team to Venezuela, for a tough mission involving Iran’s nuclear program.

2) “Young Sheldon,” 8 p.m., CBS. Five weeks before the start of its final season, “Sheldon” reruns one of its best episodes. Mandy is going into labor, just as most of Georgie’s family is missing. That’s followed by a “Ghosts” rerun, with Hetty’s scoundrel husband wanting to be retrieved from Hell. Also, CW reruns episodes from the first “Conners” season, at 8:30 and 9.

3) “Law & Order” shows, 8-11 p.m., NBC. The three shows – “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “Law & Order: Organized Crime” – are finally back together. There are reruns tonight, with new episodes next Thursday. “Transplant,” originally set for tonight, has now moved to 8 p.m. Fridays.

4) “Gordon Ramsay Road Trip,” 9 p.m., Fox. For months, Ramsay has salvaged Fox’s strike-torn schedule. He had two series (“Hell’s Kitchen,” at 8 p.m. today, and “Kitchen Chef”), some holiday specials (“MasterChef Junior”) and now this two-week documentary, in which he goes to Spain with Gino D’Acampo and Fred Sireix.

5) “The Power of Film,” 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies. It’s the second round of this series, followed by the perfect movie to illustrate it. “Citizen Kane” (1941) is at 9 p.m.; Orson Welles, who also stars, showed just how powerful a camera can be in telling a story. It failed to win the best-picture Oscar, but now is listed by the American Film Institute as the No. 1 film ever.
